Leinster aiming to pile pressure on rivals with win in Edinburgh

TWELVE months ago, Leinster travelled to Scotland needing a win to salvage their hopes of qualification for the quarter-finals of the Heineken Cup after a home defeat to Bath.

A year on and things have changed for the better, with Michael Cheika’s side visiting Edinburgh in far better shape after an opening victory over Gloucester in Pool Two.

Win in Murrayfield tomorrow and Leinster will have the group by the scruff of the neck, no matter what the result when Gloucester entertain Agen at Kingsholm this afternoon.
